That would have saved me an hour if I had looked up exactly what it did :). I read the name and just thought, must be like FxCop and moved on.
Thanks again Pally, you seem to have your finger firmly on the WiX pulse. -----Original Message----- From: Pally Sandher [mailto:pally.sand...@iesve.com] Sent: 14 September 2009 14:49 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Registering a DLL Hi Jaspreet, I have found that the COM registration output heat.exe produces did not work for My COM dlls ( originally written in Delphi ). Instead I had to go through a laborious process of downloading WiX 2 and running tallow over my dll as follows... Tallow.exe /s MyCOMstuff.dll > MyCOMstuff.wxs This unfortunately produces WiX 2 Rigistry code that is now deprecated in WiX 3. :( I then wrote an XSLT to transform the WiX 2 code to valid Wix 3. Copying the updated code into my installer code base, then correctly installed and registered the COM dll. I hope this helps.
